hello i was wondering if any body know a good place to shoot long range.
i need to sight in my rifle but all the range here in the twin city is not long enough. Indoor or out door doesn't matter. I been to bills in Robindale. Burnsville pistol range, Ahlmans gun range. Not interested in the shooting range near Channhassen call stock and barrel ( too expensive for me).

i have a savage 10 fcp sr 308 win with nikon 308 3.5-12x50.

Rush Lake Range.
Search here, and Facebook

For public shooting without having to join a club your best bet is probably Del-Tone/Luth outside of St. Cloud. Not too far from the metro and they have 50/100/200 yd ranges. However they have very limited hours this time of year and are basically only open when the weather is favorable. Check their website for details. http://del-tone-luth.com/

GRRC up by Harris has a 1000 yard range but you need to be a member or go as a guest with a member. Was invited last year to shoot there as a guest. Sweet range. Rush lake is a public range up by New York mills. Been wanting to drive up there. I talked to one of the owners about their set up. If you go, call ahead because if they have a match going on, no shooting the 1200 yard area. They have metal targets already setup from what I was told.

Faribault has a 600 yard range but again you have to be a member or a guest of a member. I am also a .308 shooter and a beginner FT/R shooter, when the weather warms up, I would be glad to bring you down there.

Why, do you shoot a 50 BMG or something?

No way, I don’t think I’ve heard that before!

What’s a 50 BMG? That like a sawed off joe Biden double barrel?

Never been to Del-Tone, but I was a member at Caribou Gun Club for over a year, run by a family of good people. They are open to the public: $20 (plus $5 for every gun after the 1st) and their range goes out to 500 yrds. They ask that you call the day before to reserve the rifle range.

Maybe you can't talk about it, but what about that National Guard range in MN where FCSA has done events?

Am a member of del-tone in st cloud. Max range of 200 yards. The 200 yard range has you shooting through a metal tube. It sucks. But it works. Been hammering on them to build at least a 300 yard range or more but no go. they are still gun shy from the last almost shut down. Works for sighting in at 100 yards. You will want to wear double hearing protect for the 200 yard range. That tube really echos.

Never was a FCSA event at MN National Guard range - after working thru 17 pages of requirements - things stopped for stupid reasons.

Example of one - you must shoot while wear a complete "chemical warfare" suit over all required military clothing and gear.
And the hoops got bigger and changed everyday.

I gave up. A perfect range unavailable for use by the people who paid for it.
